24/7 Customer Service Automation
Use this when you need to design an automated customer support system using AI for round-the-clock service.

Context you provide —
- {{business_type}}: The industry or type of business (e.g., e-commerce, logistics, SaaS).
- {{common_queries}}: List of frequent customer questions or topics (e.g., shipping, returns, product info).
- {{escalation_path}}: Description of the human support team or ticketing system for complex issues.
Instructions —

Output format — Provide a comprehensive plan with sections: Response Templates, Escalation Design, Training Program, Monitoring Metrics. Use bullet points and tables where helpful.
